A Representation Theorem for General Revealed Preference
Following Richter (1966), we provide criteria under which a preference relation implied by a finite set of choice observations has a complete extension that can in turn be represented by a utility function. These criteria rely on a mapping over preference relations, the rational closure, which is a generalization of the transitive closure and is employed to construct the complete extension. We ...
متن کاملGeneral revealed preference theory
We provide general conditions under which an economic theory has a universal axiomatization: one that leads to testable implications. Roughly speaking, if we obtain a universal axiomatization when we assume that unobservable parameters (such as preferences) are observable, then we can obtain a universal axiomatization purely on observables. The result “explains” classical revealed preference th...
متن کاملA General Stone Representation Theorem
This note contains a Stone-style representation theorem for compact Haus-dorff spaces. The note is very much inspired by some existing representation theorems and is expository in nature. The first representation theorem is by Jung and Sünderhauf in [JS] and there is also a version of it for compact Hausdorff spaces noted by D. Moshier [Mo], the ideas of which were described to us by A. Jung. T...
متن کاملA General Representation Theorem for Partially Ordered Commutative Rings
An extension of the Kadison-Dubois representation theorem is proved. This extends both the classical version [3] and the preordering version given by Jacobi in [5]. It is then shown how this can be used to sharpen the results on representations of strictly positive polynomials given by Jacobi and Prestel in [6]. In [4] Dubois extends a result of Kadison on representation of archimedean partiall...
متن کاملForthcoming in Theoretical Economics. GENERAL REVEALED PREFERENCE THEORY
We generalize the standard revealed-preference exercise in economics, and prove a sufficient condition under which the revealed-preference formulation of an economic theory has universal implications, and when these implications can be recursively enumerated. We apply our theorem to two theories of group behavior: the theory of group preference and of Nash equilibrium.
